ROYAL MAIL MARKS 300TH ANNIVERSARY OF CAPABILITY BROWN'S BIRTH
15.08.2016 | category: General
Royal Mail has launched a set of eight Special Stamps to mark the 300th anniversary of the birth of Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.
Brown is remembered as ‘the last of the great eighteenth century artists’ and as ‘England’s greatest gardener’. The stamps showcase eight of the best loved examples of Capability Brown’s work and are a celebration of his contribution to the English landscape.
Locations on the stamps feature: Blenheim Palace, Longleat, Compton Verney, Highclere Castle, Alnwick Castle, Berrington Hall, Stowe and Croome Park.
Ceryl Evans, Director of the Capability Brown Festival, said: “It is wonderful that Royal Mail has issued a set of Special Stamps to celebrate the work of Lancelot "Capability" Brown in his tercentenary year. The Capability Brown Festival is working to raise the profile and understanding of historic landscapes and what better way to bring these stunning images into people’s lives, homes and offices than on a stamp.”
Philip Parker, Stamp Strategy Manager, Royal Mail, said: “During his lifetime, Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown literally changed the face of Georgian England. By the time of his death, he was known to have shaped or influenced around 250 landscapes - these stamps pay tribute to the lasting legacy of his work.”
The stamps are available from 16 August at www.royalmail.com/landscapegardens and 8,000 Post Offices.
For seven days from 16 August, Royal Mail will provide a special handstamp on all mail posted at the postbox in Kirkharle. The handstamp will run from 16-22 August and will feature a line drawing of Brown based on the portrait of him painted by Richard Cosway, c.1770-75, by the kind permission of Bridgeman Images.

Compton Verney's Chapel was built in 1772 by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown to replace the medieval church that stood by the lake nearby. It has not been used for services since the Verney family left in 1921.
Inside the rectangular room has plaster decoration influenced by Robert Adam's work. The main items of interest are the Verney monuments including a large centrally placed tomb with effigies of Sir Richard & wife by Nicholas Stone c1630. However given the long term disuse of the building most of the monuments have been boxed in for protection. They will remain hidden until funding is found to restore and re-open the chapel as part of the visitor attraction here,
The 16th century glass once contained here was sold in the 1920s and is now in New York. Nobody seems to know what's become of the brasses. They may still be there under all the clutter that the building's mothballed state has generated.
Compton Verney House stands in a beautiful setting overlooking a lake. The grounds were landscaped by Capability Brown who also built the chapel.
The House itself is largely the work of Robert Adam, who in the 1760s who added extra ranges to an existing west range of 1714,
From the early 20th century the house passed through various owners, and after requisitioning in World War II was never lived in again, and thus remained in a state of disuse, slowly falling apart, until rescued and converted into a highly successful art gallery in the 1990s.

The house is now almost fully restored and in use. The chapel however remains closed and awaits proper restoration.

Stowe landscape garden is most notably the work of two people: Lord Cobham and his nephew, Earl Temple. At one time this family was once richer than the king. The Temple family spent a fortune creating and extending the garden to further their political ambitions. Stowe was 'Capability' Brown's first major commission. Stowe reached its social peak in 1822 when Richard Temple was created 1st Duke of Buckingham, but by this time his and his ancestors extravagence had taken the family to the brink of financial ruin with debts of more than £1 million. The 2nd Duke fled and the scandel rocked the English aristocracy.
Stowe was rescued in 1922, when it was turned into a school.

Croome Court is a mid-18th-century Neo-Palladian mansion surrounded by extensive landscaped parkland at Croome D'Abitot, near Pershore in south Worcestershire, England. The mansion and park were designed by Lancelot "Capability" Brown for the 6th Earl of Coventry, and were Brown's first landscape design and first major architectural project. Some of the mansion's rooms were designed by Robert Adam.
The mansion house is owned by Croome Heritage Trust, and is leased to the National Trust which operates it as a tourist attraction. The National Trust owns the surrounding parkland, which is also open to the public.

Soldiers from the Camp Pendleton-based Troop C, 2nd Squadron, 183rd Cavalry Regiment, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team conduct live fire training June 18, 2014, at Fort Pickett, Va. Col. John M. Epperly, commander of the 116th, visited the training and emphasized the importance of safety with temperatures reaching nearly 100 degrees. The cavalry Soldiers executed an area reconnaissance to determine enemy location and capabilities, then engaged the objective with live fire, including mortars. The training is part of the 10-day eXportable Combat Training Capability rotation designed to train and validate platoons on tasks that support offensive and defensive operations under daylight and hours of limited visibility. Units will concentrate on training selected mission essential tasks in a realistic field environment to refocus junior leaders on tactical field craft. The Army National Guard’s XCTC program provides an experience similar to a Combat Training Center to Guard Soldiers at a home station training center, minimizing cost and time away from home and jobs. XCTC is an instrumented field training exercise designed to certify unit proficiency in coordination with First Army. (Photo Cotton Puryear, Virginia National Guard Public Affairs)

A hybrid computing system developed at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, is the enabling technology behind an ambitious experiment testing a relative navigation and autonomous docking capability known as Raven.
Developed by the Satellite Servicing Projects Division, or SSPD, the carry-on luggage-sized module was launched February 19 aboard SpaceX’s Dragon spacecraft, along with other experiments deployed outside the International Space Station on an experiment pallet. Raven is testing and maturing visible, infrared and lidar sensors and machine-vision algorithms; the module will bring NASA one step closer to realizing the groundbreaking autopilot capability that can be applied to many NASA missions for decades to come.

"Breadth of Capability": Land Rover celebrates 60 years
Text on plaque beneath sculpture:
"Since the very first Land Rover made its debut at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show, this celebrated British marque has set the standard for traversing any terrain and rising to any challenge.
Now - 60 years and four million vehicles later - its unique breadth of capabilities has ensured that the Land Rover name has entered everyday language as the generic term for go-anywhere vehicles.
This sculpture by Gerry Judah represents the firm foundations on which Land Rover builds a commitment to future growth in a changing world."
Vehicles displayed are: Land Rover Defender, Land Rover Discovery, Land Rover Freelander, and Range Rover.
